and the other label near a source of fresh air where you plan to gather when the carbon monoxide alarm signals are activated. After installation is completed, TEST the detector by pressing the TEST/RESET/MUTE button for at least 2 seconds. Detailed testing instructions are outlined in Section 9. If no alarm sounds, or low or erratic sound emits from the detector during a test, the unit may be defective and should be returned for service.

• Display Tolerance ±20% from 30 to 400 PPM @ 50% RH, 72 ± 5 ° F Electrochemical Sensor: • Defender’s CO detectors are programmed to accommodate sensor tolerance, and consistently activate an alarm signal at or below 50 PPM TWA within 6 hours of detection.
4. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas. HOW IS CO GENERATED? Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, boilers, water heaters, fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and space heaters are the major cause of CO levels in a building.
For residential areas within a commercial building, carbon monoxide alarms that are listed to the UL 2034 residential standard, like the Defender CA6150, should be installed inside or near every sleeping area or room, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS: This detector is not suitable for installation in a hazardous location, as defined in the National Electrical Code. NEAR WIRELESS DEVICES: Do not install the detector within one foot of wireless devices. Radio Frequencies (RF) may interfere with the CO detector’s proper operation. 7.
(B) Detector is activated when switch is in ON position, and mounting hole at top of detector is open. The models CD8110 and CD8180 are a sealed lithium battery powered wall mounted detector. Two 10-year lithium battery cells are permanently sealed with soldered connections, and cannot be removed.

should occur, the detector will chirp twice ( ) per minute, red LED SERVICE BEEP - BEEP will blink for 5 seconds every minute, and model CD8180 LCD will continuously display . This malfunction condition indicates a problem with the unit. See Section 13 for information regarding service.

The current CO level will also be displayed for model CD8180. To reduce the horn volume, place the palm of one hand over the horn opening. In addition to the weekly simulation test, Defender Commercial CO Detectors should be tested with a UL Classified CO Detector Test Kit (CaT KIT or equivalent) at least once per year.

To mute the audible horn during a low battery signal ( ) condition, press the button. The green LED will blink for 5 seconds, the model TEST/RESET/MUTE POWER CD8180 will display at the same time, and the horn will be temporarily silenced for 24 hours.
10. WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS If alarm signal sounds: 1) Operate test/reset/mute button; 2) Call your emergency services (tel. no. _______________________________) [fire department or 911]; 3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for.

iv) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, boilers, or water heaters. v) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations. vi) Poorly designed or maintained chimneys and/or vents. 2) Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.). 3) Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
12. GOOD SAFETY HABITS DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE: Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each room within the building. Have a meeting with everyone to discuss your escape plan, and show everyone what to do in case a detector sounds an alarm signal.

To remove the detector for service or disposal, unscrew the mounting screw from the top center of the detector, and slide the detector up and off the mounting plate. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot, and pry out the deactivation Stop. Insert a small flat-head screw driver into the slot to pry out the deactivation STOP...
